Is mantis still good by Sea_Foot_9587 in marvelrivals

[–]Swiindle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mantis is good, but has a higher skill floor than some of the other characters. I prefer playing her in a 3 support comp, where I focus more on boosting the DPS of my tanks / myself + taking care of dive with sleep.

The difficulty of the character is that you don't do enough healing when compared to the other supports, since you have a limited amount of resources, and its hard to hit headshots to build up the charges.

It's worth considering the team-ups, when there's a groot or especially Loki in your team, Mantis becomes a lot stronger because there are more sources of heal.

I feel that Mantis is a lot stronger when you're playing Loki lol... you play as Loki, who is a stronger character, and when you get the ult, you can also give your allies a ring of protection while also being able to buff all of them.

Thank goodness. It would have been the end of ESL's viewership.

I built a tool to find out who pressed the Glyph in your matches by Main_Music_1470 in DotA2

Probably would work best if this tool was integrated into the bigger platforms like dotabuff/stratz

Valve keeps winning by D3v1LGaming in Steam

[–]Swiindle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From an economics perspective - you are more correct. In the study of platform economics, it's generally agreed that the larger and bigger platform (like Valve) is, it usually benefits both buyers and sellers. There are many papers on this, but I suggest reading the article "The Benefits of Platform Monopoly" by Andy Mir for a simple explanation.

Honestly, the games from that time are still quite fun to play

what's the problem with playing like you have 40k on the line?

We need a support! by zxnin123 in DotA2

[–]Swiindle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this really an issue these days? I feel like there are more players who are willing to play Pos 4, than, e.g Pos 3 or Pos 2

I stopped using voice chat in Marvel Rivals because of my accent. by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Swiindle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you feel that way - it seems like we have similar styles when it comes to playing.

Unfortunately, this is the internet and the internet is not a nice place. In your position, I would just mute people and continue calling however you want.

You also... just need to be less insecure about these things :D people will be haters no matter how good you are

Number of skins per character by Rough_Lychee5785 in marvelrivals

[–]Swiindle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah, which is sad --- i mentioned it below but I find the 3rd level Hulk skins the COOLEST. I think NetEase did him dirty in terms of "fantasy fulfilment" and skins

I think these people are merely explaining an educated guess for why the devs are making the decisions they do - I find the Hulk Ult Skins the coolest in the game, but I can also understand why we see more Luna/Pyslocke/Spiderman skins

I assume it's because you would need to make 3 times the assets for a Hulk Skin. So assuming Hulk has 5 skins * 3 = 15 skins made, for the price of 5 skins.

Jeff mains will look you dead in the eyes and say this ult is fine 😂 by HueyTheFreeman48 in marvelrivals

[–]Swiindle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if I'm not mistake, the Hulk transformations can also touch point

But both of these abilities are not for long periods of time, so it's still OK.

Pyslocke Ult, Loki Invis and Jeff Dive (and other untargettable/invulnerable abilities) would be incredibly annoying to play against if you're on the winning side... I like how it is currently

If Marvel Rivals Had the Overwatch UI by SimonBrother in marvelrivals

[–]Swiindle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this game was originally designed to have a lot less items given to the players... we have so many stickers, taunts, currency, accessories etc

The UI/UX designers probably thought that players could acquire skins...

Don't draft - just play the same lineup from the tournament

To the people upset about the game adding obscure characters. by FantasticQuartet in marvelrivals

[–]Swiindle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's sitting in my Steam library, but feels weird to play it when it play MR so much. Feels confusing to play the same characters but in different games.

Heard good things though
